Music Production

There’s more to being a music producer than people realise. This course is designed to expose you to all elements of the job - creating great music is only part of the story. Our team of industry active tutors will work with you on the latest software in our studios, to build and manage large-scale projects; to enhance what you’re already doing in order to develop your experience in areas that will benefit you and your future career. Think of it like this… Your first day on the course is your first day in the industry. The challenge to you is; can you sustain it? Can you build on it to forge a rewarding career? In our experience, you can. This year, the main activities within the programme will take place within a classroom/studio/online setting. This will allow you and the staff to develop a mature and informative relationship concerning your study. Not only is this a supportive and welcoming environment but it mimics the professional arena where you will be expected to organise your working patterns based upon set goals. Circumstances surrounding COVID-19 enabled us to develop a flexible approach to your teaching and learning with the option to deliver aspects of the course both onsite and online. Throughout the pandemic, this has been a successful strategy to control numbers and preserve social distancing in the building, reducing the need for unnecessary travel by both students and staff but it is also very important to develop your ability to operate, collaborate and deliver work online – a vital and forward-looking employment skill recommended by our industry partners in the Futureworks’ Industry Advisory Group. It is important to note that this is not a distance learning / online course. Online activity will be a part of the course in addition to onsite studios and labs as it is an important transferable skill you will need in industry. BA (Hons) Music Production is at the heart of the Futureworks’ creative community, mirroring media industries around us. There are games design teams and animators who need music; film students looking for original tracks / scores, sound effects and dialogue– it’s a media production hub, bursting with potential, talent and creative opportunity.
